Monarch butterflies thrive at this 63-acre property. This picture was taken at the property in 2015. Help us protect this special sanctuary for butterflies!

An incredible 63-acre Monarch butterfly habitat in Ohio County just came up for auction. Chyrs Cook, a Board member who lives nearby and is an advocate for Monarchs, has been visiting the property for two years. She has never seen so many Monarch caterpillars in one place in Indiana.

The auction is set for Tuesday, Dec. 19. The expected price is $250,000.

A few notes: If we do not successfully bid on the property at auction, we will set these funds aside for future land purchases. We will accept pledges for large contributions. Contact Liz Brownlee, our Executive Director, at (317) 258-5217 or oakheritageconservancy@gmail.org with questions and pledges.

Thank you for helping protect this special butterfly habitat!
